Give Kids A Chance To Get Outdoors

Tubbs Snowshoes is excited to announce our call for applications for the Get Outdoors Program, a contest for schools and non-profits to benefit children and teens. Tubbs Snowshoes will award two winning groups with snowshoes and our Winter Fit™ for Kids Programming, to help children and teens adventure into the wintertime. With snowshoes and a lesson plan, all that’s needed is warm layers and hot cocoa to get all ages outdoors and exploring winter’s wonderland.

Snowshoeing is a great winter activity for children and teens to get outside and adventure during a season when outdoor activities become limited. It’s also affordable since no lessons are needed – anyone who can walk, can snowshoe. Tubbs is excited to get more youngsters on snow with the needed tools and resources.

Winners from schools or non-profits will receive snowshoes for their class or group (kids aged 3-15 years old), snowshoes for the adult leaders, and our Winter Fit for Kids Programming. Throughout the year the winners will be promoted in Tubbs marketing materials. Keep reading to see how to enter, what we are looking for, and the rules and regulations.

We want to see where you went on your snowshoes, the games that were played, and the smiles that were shared. We are hoping other programs will be inspired by the fun you are having, while also learning some tricks to getting people of all ages on snow.
